It’s taken a while, but here it is: www.thinkkorea.org.uk.
It seems to be part of the Korean Embassy website. And it’s now coming up on google. It must be a recent creation, because I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve googled in search of “Think Korea 2006″ and only found my own site.
There’s a couple of events on their schedule which I hadn’t heard about - a contemporary video art event during May, which obviously we’ve now missed; and an event at the Bloomsbury Theatre in September, which the Bloomsbury Theatre website doesn’t seem to know anything about yet. Other than that I think I’d managed to capture all the events by various alternative means. I won’t be posting the Sarah Chang performance of the Bruch fiddle concerto (also listed on the Think Korea website) as that’s more Western culture than Korean.
Here’s a link to the Exposed website to judge what you missed. The still on the Think Korea website of a giant hand parking some cars looks very similar to a piece of video art which was shown as part of the Korean Festival last year - a pair of giant hands manipulating a building site in the process of constructing an open-air concert stage. I wish I’d known about it before.
I’ll post more information on the September event at the Bloomsbury when I find out more about it. Meanwhile, if any of you know of any Korean-related events out there, do let me know.
UPDATE: since posting the above I came across the catalogue of last year’s video art show at the London Korean Festival. The artist in question is June Bum Park.
